Animal, Surrender! – “Poinciana”

/

Both meditative and climactic in its artful instrumental rock sound, “Poinciana” is a stirring new track from Animal, Surrender!. The Brooklyn-based act, led by Peter Kerlin and drummer Rob Smith, excel with a strong atmospheric pull throughout — venturing through mellow pulses of guitar and gorgeous organs, as pit-pattering percussive elements enamor alongside and into a more vibrant second half. There, the uptick in rhythmic color and guitar-based expressions pair with the organ-based undercurrent for a gripping, satiating finale — dreamy and psychedelic in its stylish structural unveiling.

The track comes via the project’s upcoming album, Boot for Every Bane.

This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Emerging Singles’ Spotify playlist.
